i suspect that will go down now with Ubermusic out. its awesome. smoothest music app i have ever used. and that is coming from someone that is a hardcore poweramp user.

I'm using subsonic

I am using PlayerPro

Coming from an hd7 which has an AMAZING music player, i think ubermusic is pretty close to it. It's a near zune clone and works awesome.

I have not tried Ubermusic yet, but out of al players I have tried Playerpro is hands down my fav. Skins, customization, Album Art/ Artist Art Sync and the Equalizer option . Smooth,Looks great too.

i just took a look at PlayerPro and it looks hella slick I currently use AudioGalaxy, as i have over 14 gigs of music, and streaming it seemed to be the best option....ah decisions, decisions..lol

Ubermusic is also good app.
PlayerPro or Ubermusic.. hm..

I have a few to choose from, thanks guys!
I am going to try all of them and pick which one suits me best.
Keep the suggestions coming. You guys are awesome with the help.

I used UberMusic on my Xperia Play before I sold it and I want to use it on my Sensation but I'm still using stock because it has the SRS option. Are there any other music apps that use SRS?

Can't stand poweramps awful skin looks old school but ubermusic is eye candy and playerpro gets you both a nice interface and look combined with nice features I like it because the lock screen controls work great on sensation and you can long press volume to switch songs

playerpro. Liked it so much I even paid for it.
Regularly updated, and the dev works from his bedroom and is a nice guy, speaks to you!

I'm using subsonic

Is there demo version or try before you buy version of Ubermusic anywhere?

I use the Volume + app. It boosts the volume from your speaker, headphones and bluetooth device. It also has a more than decent sound enhancer. I really don't miss the stock srs sound enhancer, that came on my HTC sensation, with is app installed.

Ubermusic is great been using it since first alpha build and it gets better and better each time

PlayerPro has been great for me.

i have tried poweramp, playerpro and other music players on my desire hd but i stuck with htc's own player.
i guess i really didnt need the extra features these apps offered and i really like the stock elegance of the htc player, even more on the sensation.
though i liked the look of the lock screen widget of the older sense more.

google music 3.0

Best music player

Hey guys, I hope everyone will agree that stock desire s sense 2.1 music player was far far better than that of sense 3 & 3.5 ROMs that are available here in aspect if transitions n visualizations.. is there any way I can get that back in my present ROM? I'm using proxuser's Runnymede v1.3a

not sure about that, but poweramp is a great music player! worth the money if u ask me

Actually I wanted a music player having 3d effect like that one I mentioned as well as Beats music support
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

poweramp is the best music player

For me, best player is incluyed in MIUI Rom... but sense users cant put it in our Roms.. Poweramp is the best.

But right now I'm using proxuser's latest sense 3.5 ROM n Beats included here. But no 3d effect... That's why I was telling that

I think PlayerPro is the best music player tbh
Tried WinAmp, Songbird, and the stock 2.1 & 3.0 players and IMO PlayerPro is the best, hands down

PowerAmp. Used it since beta, nothing can get near it.

I use cloudskipper for 6 months already. It suit me well. It's free without advertisement.

But none of them supports Beats I guess

No way!!!
Sense 3.0 > Sense 2.1 music player!
This is one of the main reasons I have stuck with 3.0!
It's faster, easier to use, and doesn't have that annoying feature where the tilt sensor is active when your phone is locked

PlayerPro
I think playerpro is best.

I like PowerAmp. It's what am using atm.
I can't really say it's the best. We all have different preferences. I say try it out what is mentioned here. There are trials available.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I agree that PowerAMP is the best choice! But in my case I can not buy it due to region limitation, because my region Georgia is not supported yet in paid apps yet... that sucks a lot!!!

I agree with the miui player, it's nearby to amarok on my desktop^^
If you want to have sense 2.1 player you should switch to lbc mod, there you can choose with patches what sense 3.0 features you want to use.

2.1 music player was good at visualization, but i am quite happy with 3.0 msic player
Well! I think it is not possible to revert back or install the old music player..

Thank u guys for yr comments but I really liked 2.1's visualization n sound quality was also good...

[Q] Port of Sensation XE Music player?

Hi, I have decided to flash custom AOSP on my XE and I do want this amazing stock player too! Are there any ways to install it on CM7 or MIUI? with Beats of course
Thanks

Dont think so, as far as i know the music player needs Sense to run...

[Q] Dre beats media player on sensation

I have a sensation and I was looking to upgrade my media player tobthe dre beats branded player. Is there a way to do it? Or would my best bet be to just wait for the ics update since ics introduces music equalizer into the os?

Sadly the sensation won't get beats audio MOD, as far as I have heard. But you can install a custom rom, which includes that MOD. But to be honest it isn't that good.

Is the dre beats app just like an equalizer on roids?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

No, Beats audio mod is an addon which is featured in the current HTC phones, the sensation is the one without it. But you could flash a ROM, which includes it. But I wouldn't recommend that, as it isn't worth taking a risk bricking your device, for something stupid as that.

Oh ok I have yet to root my sensation because I know HTC is building a stable ics update. So basically it'll be better to just wait for ics and use the equalizer built into the os?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yeah, that is one way to say it

And one more question for you, and im out of your hair. I currently have a rooted evo I use it to listen to my music. Its rooted with cyanogenmod and I use a good pair of skullcandy headphones i keep bass boost enabled is that pretty much the same outcome to dre beats? I mean I understand dre beats are clearer but in terms of volume and bass?

Beats audio in ARHD rom?

first Thread here, please be kind.
first of all, awesome website, awesome developers, and awesome ARHD roms.
i flashed my sensation with ARHD sensation XE rom and it has been nothing but awsome so far. however, as a audiophile myself, i cannot help but noticed something changed in the audio department.
with the default HTC audio player, the music became almost unlistenable without Beats enabled. the overwhelming amount of bass pretty much ruins everything. I don't recall this was the case before flashing the ARHD rom. and when i use 3rd party player (like Winamp) with no EQ change, the music is on par with using HTC audio player with Beats turned on.
so here is my theory:
1. HTC is really play dirty here by purposely making the musics sounds so bad that user has to enable the Beats audio on models that support Beats audio.
2. Sensation is not compatible with Senstion XE rom?
is this an isolated case? or are you guys all experiencing it?
Thanks

Never had that, flash again maybe?

yes... I also facing same issue when listen to music using poweramp. But as far as I know beats function only work with stock music player.

i think i flashed a number of times and i have noticed this every time.
could you do test on your phone?
listen to a music file with HTC music player with beats off, and beast on.
and listen to the same file with a 3rd party player with flat eq setting.
since 3rd party player cannot trigger beats audio, it should sound just like HTC player with Beats disabled.
my problem is it sounded like HTC player with beats enabled, while the HTC player with beats disabled sounds like carp (granted my head phone cost as much as sensation itself so i might hear a bit more, but the difference should be very significant to spot with just regular earphones)

For ICS, HTC have modified the Beats algorithm (imho)
So now, beats enabled is as the player should be,
Beats disabled, has HTC crippling the sound to make Beats sound better than it is
I think.....
A very nice posting from my ARHD XE

Sorry but.... do you guys use piracy OLD version of power amp? New version of it has Beats Audio in EQ. Better just buy Power Amp and get an update with Beats Audio in EQ And on topic, I don`t have this issue. Maybe it`s related on headphones, as I`m using headphones from SE Xperia Arc S, but with some others headphones sound is really bad.

I don't use Beats anymore as it sucks out my battery.
Google Music has pretty nice sound, don't need more than that.

I've found that using dsp manager as well as beats audio gives the best sound.
